| L-GLUTAMINE-AMIDE-15N Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | (L-Glutamine-amide-15N) Labelled Gluamine. L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid that is a crucial component of culture media that serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-Glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. In liquid media or stock solutions, however, L-glutamine degrades relatively rapidly. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the media with L-glutamine prior to use.

Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the media with L-glutamine prior to use. | | General Description | L-Glutamine is a branched chain, non-essential amino acid. It is one of the most abundant amino acid found in central nervous system (CNS), plasma and human skeletal muscle.(2) L- Glutamine is synthesized by transamination of glutamate catalyzed by glutamine synthetase. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | L-Glutamine, a source of nitrogen, mainly contributes to the synthesis of proteins, peptides, purine, pyrimidine, nucleotides, nucleic acids and major precursor of neurotransmitter. It acts as a fuel for the proliferation of lymphocytes and macrophages of immune system, for intestinal tissue to maintain gut integrity and for insulin production.(4)(3) L-Glutamine is released by skeletal muscle during stress conditions. |
